many_o whatsoever_o this_o author_n say_v have_v not_o deprive_v themselves_o voluntary_o of_o marriage_n but_o have_v take_v it_o upon_o they_o as_o a_o yoke_n and_o burden_n which_o neither_o they_o

hierarchy_n untruth_n that_o all_o man_n can_v receive_v it_o and_o sure_o the_o fornication_n adultery_n murder_n and_o pollution_n that_o have_v issue_v from_o this_o law_n of_o coelibate_n i_o

saint_n peter_n say_v that_o saint_n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n have_v write_v certain_a thing_n which_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o which_o the_o unlearned_a and_o unstable_a do_v pervert_v to_o their_o destruction_n saint_n augustine_n declare_v upon_o this_o place_n that_o the_o place_n misunderstand_v concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n which_o some_o misconceive_v to_o be_v by_o faith_n alone_o by_o occasion_n of_o what_o saint_n paul_n have_v write_v to_o the_o roman_n and_o of_o purpose_n to_o countermine_v that_o error_n he_o say_v that_o saint_n james_n write_v his_o epistle_n and_o prove_v therein_o that_o good_a work_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n hereupon_o we_o may_v observe_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o that_o a_o error_n in_o this_o point_n alone_o be_v by_o the_o judgement_n of_o saint_n peter_n to_o work_v their_o destruction_n who_o embrace_v it_o and_o the_o other_o that_o the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o speak_v no_o one_o word_n thereof_o be_v no_o good_a rule_n to_o let_v we_o know_v all_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o faith_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o this_o author_n go_v on_o still_o upon_o a_o false_a ground_n as_o if_o we_o say_v that_o all_o error_n in_o faith_n that_o may_v damn_v man_n be_v fundamental_a and_o express_o against_o some_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n whereas_o we_o have_v often_o affirm_v that_o any_o error_n though_o not_o fundamental_a may_v damn_v man_n that_o by_o a_o lively_a faith_n hold_v not_o right_o the_o fundamental_o and_o so_o be_v without_o christ._n and_o it_o seem_v that_o these_o man_n be_v not_o well_o ground_v and_o found_v by_o fundamental_o in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o saint_n peter_n call_v unlearned_a and_o unstable_a and_o their_o error_n the_o error_n of_o the_o wicked_a a_o generation_n of_o viper_n turn_v wholesome_a food_n into_o poison_n and_o abuse_v scripture_n to_o their_o own_o condemnation_n but_o second_o that_o faith_n do_v not_o justify_v but_o that_o good_a work_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n be_v most_o untrue_a and_o against_o saint_n augustine_n himself_o untrue_a for_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o his_o own_o merit_n which_o in_o your_o language_n be_v good_a work_n as_o divers_a of_o your_o own_o author_n 16._o affirm_v and_o a_o man_n in_o the_o instant_n of_o his_o justification_n may_v die_v before_o he_o have_v have_v time_n to_o do_v good_a work_n and_o yet_o his_o justification_n may_v be_v good_a and_o it_o be_v against_o saint_n 10._o austin_n even_o in_o the_o same_o place_n whence_o the_o former_a say_n of_o saint_n peter_n be_v take_v where_o you_o may_v find_v that_o common_o know_a sentence_n of_o he_o opera_fw-la sequuntur_fw-la justificatum_fw-la non_fw-la praecedunt_fw-la justificandum_fw-la good_a work_n follow_v justification_n and_o do_v not_o go_v before_o it_o so_o that_o while_o this_o author_n observe_v two_o thing_n he_o give_v more_o than_o two_o scandal_n to_o his_o reader_n for_o first_o he_o charge_v false_o not_o saint_n austin_n only_o but_o saint_n james_n with_o hold_v this_o error_n that_o good_a work_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n and_o then_o second_o he_o will_v make_v he_o to_o say_v that_o the_o not_o hold_v of_o this_o error_n be_v a_o error_n which_o may_v work_v their_o destruction_n that_o embrace_v it_o yea_o three_o that_o the_o apostle_n creed_n be_v no_o good_a rule_n to_o let_v we_o know_v all_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o faith_n because_o it_o speak_v no_o one_o word_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o cavalier_n error_n be_v a_o fundamental_a point_n of_o faith_n last_o his_o own_o doctor_n do_v bring_v into_o their_o explicite_n our_o faith_n in_o christ_n 20._o passion_n &_o resurrection_n for_o justification_n but_o not_o this_o his_o article_n that_o good_a work_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o why_o do_v he_o require_v it_o of_o we_o in_o our_o fundamental_n sect_n ii_o wherein_o his_o exception_n against_o the_o 39_o article_n of_o religion_n establish_v in_o this_o church_n be_v answer_v but_o have_v quarrel_v in_o vain_a with_o the_o creed_n to_o prove_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o it_o for_o fundamental_n now_o he_o come_v to_o the_o article_n where_o he_o thus_o begin_v other_o say_v that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o 39_o article_n declare_v all_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o faith_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o this_o also_o be_v most_o absurd_o affirm_v for_o as_o it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o declare_v in_o some_o confuse_a manner_n which_o yet_o indeed_o be_v extreme_o confuse_a what_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o most_o thing_n believe_v so_o it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o be_v very_o careful_a that_o they_o be_v not_o too_o clear_o understand_v and_o therefore_o in_o many_o controversy_n whereof_o that_o book_n speak_v it_o come_v not_o at_o all_o to_o the_o main_a

this_o doubtful_a word_n declare_v for_o if_o we_o say_v that_o the_o book_n of_o article_n declare_v our_o fundamental_n of_o faith_n we_o do_v not_o say_v it_o declare_v all_o the_o knot_n of_o

and_o neither_o the_o father_n in_o their_o rule_n of_o faith_n neither_o romist_n in_o their_o explicite_n do_v declare_v the_o knot_n of_o question_n which_o may_v arise_v even_o concern_v

popish_a unity_n be_v one_o for_o he_o assay_v hereby_o to_o prove_v the_o church_n to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n to_o prove_v her_o visibility_n to_o prove_v her_o inerrability_n and_o thereupon_o he_o think_v present_o shall_v follow_v a_o unity_n first_o to_o remove_v the_o stumble_a block_n of_o visibility_n for_o which_o the_o author_n go_v out_o of_o his_o own_o way_n that_o he_o may_v lay_v it_o in_o we_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o text_n may_v teach_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v where_o there_o be_v a_o church_n as_o common_o there_o be_v where_o there_o be_v a_o brother_n and_o a_o brother_n but_o it_o do_v not_o teach_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o church_n visible_a in_o all_o place_n and_o at_o all_o time_n but_o notwithstanding_o this_o text_n a_o church_n may_v be_v visible_a sometime_o in_o one_o nation_n and_o sometime_o in_o another_o according_a to_o the_o fruitfulness_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o just_a pleasure_n of_o god_n who_o sometime_o remove_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o candlestick_n from_o a_o nation_n that_o bear_v no_o fruit_n to_o another_o that_o shall_v bear_v it_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o church_n now_o to_o be_v see_v where_o there_o have_v be_v famous_a church_n in_o time_n past_a according_o the_o church_n may_v be_v visible_a in_o greece_n in_o aethiopia_n in_o armenia_n yea_o in_o england_n though_o it_o be_v not_o visible_a in_o rome_n and_o so_o the_o visibility_n thereof_o may_v be_v true_a though_o there_o be_v no_o rome_n and_o no_o pope_n so_o that_o neither_o this_o nor_o any_o other_o text_n though_o they_o say_v the_o church_n be_v visible_a p●pae_fw-la yet_o they_o do_v not_o say_v that_o rome_n or_o the_o pope_n shall_v still_o be_v the_o visible_a church_n but_o contrary_o the_o scripture_n give_v we_o good_a hope_n that_o rome_n shall_v be_v invisible_a yea_o it_o give_v we_o great_a proof_n that_o she_o be_v now_o the_o scarlet_a lady_n that_o persecute_v the_o church_n and_o be_v now_o the_o mother_n of_o abomination_n second_o no_o scripture_n do_v say_v that_o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n or_o prevail_a heresy_n the_o church_n shall_v there_o be_v visible_a where_o this_o persecution_n drive_v it_o into_o corner_n that_o it_o may_v escape_v the_o fury_n of_o it_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o invisibility_n and_o when_o the_o arian_n heresy_n have_v cover_v the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o roman_a bishop_n or_o pope_n have_v subscribe_v to_o it_o this_o scripture_n do_v not_o say_v that_o then_o the_o pope_n or_o his_o adherent_n be_v the_o visible_a church_n nor_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o when_o the_o pope_n turn_v antichrist_n for_o the_o second_o point_n that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n i_o can_v perchance_o say_v that_o there_o appear_v very_o probable_a reason_n why_o this_o text_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n authority_n in_o judge_v of_o controversy_n of_o faith_n but_o of_o her_o authority_n in_o admonish_v her_o child_n and_o require_v reconciliation_n &_o satisfaction_n from_o one_o brother_n to_o another_o in_o evident_a wrong_n even_o fault_n without_o controversy_n for_o the_o text_n say_v if_o thy_o brother_n sin_n or_o trespass_n against_o thou_o go_v and_o tell_v he_o his_o fault_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sin_n and_o a_o fault_n without_o controversy_n and_o such_o a_o fault_n that_o the_o offend_a brother_n himself_o may_v first_o judge_n and_o tell_v he_o of_o it_o that_o have_v offend_v and_o according_a to_o this_o beginning_n may_v be_v the_o proceed_n that_o be_v that_o the_o two_o witness_n and_o so_o the_o church_n may_v be_v not_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o fault_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n or_o no_o but_o to_o witness_v and_o condemn_v the_o contumacy_n of_o the_o party_n in_o deny_v satisfaction_n and_o reconciliation_n after_o a_o evident_a fault_n and_o when_o the_o offend_a brother_n will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n thus_o admonish_v persuade_v and_o enjoin_v he_o satisfaction_n and_o reconciliation_n than_o he_o be_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o that_o church_n which_o he_o have_v thus_o contumacious_o disobey_v agreeable_a to_o that_o of_o s._n paul_n if_o any_o man_n obey_v not_o our_o word_n have_v no_o company_n with_o he_o 3.14_o but_o be_v it_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n this_o also_o may_v be_v true_a in_o russian_a aethiopian_a and_o protestant_a church_n and_o so_o the_o church_n may_v judge_v controversy_n though_o there_o be_v no_o pope_n and_o where_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n beside_o the_o romist_n themselves_o differ_v concern_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n church_n so_o that_o while_o we_o labour_v in_o this_o text_n to_o find_v a_o judge_n of_o controversy_n for_o reconcile_a they_o we_o be_v leave_v unreconciled_a by_o be_v at_o controversy_n about_o the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n mention_v in_o this_o text_n for_o 22._o some_o say_v the_o multitude_n be_v this_o church_n and_o they_o have_v for_o they_o the_o most_o usual_a acception_n of_o the_o word_n church_n in_o that_o sense_n through_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o current_n of_o the_o place_n seem_v to_o he_o that_o way_n according_a to_o proportion_n for_o first_o the_o offend_a brother_n alone_o be_v to_o admonish_v his_o brother_n and_o next_o with_o one_o or_o two_o witness_n and_o last_o he_o be_v to_o be_v admonish_v by_o the_o congregation_n so_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o degree_n from_o one_o to_o two_o and_o from_o two_o to_o many_o and_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o than_o the_o pope_n power_n of_o judge_a controversy_n have_v no_o foot_n here_o but_o three_o and_o so_o withal_o to_o include_v and_o resolve_v the_o question_n of_o inerrability_n if_o the_o prelate_n be_v mean_v by_o the_o church_n which_o lorca_n say_v be_v the_o most_o usual_a opinion_n among_o romist_n yet_o do_v not_o this_o place_n say_v that_o romish_a prelate_n shall_v have_v still_o a_o unerring_a judgement_n in_o controversy_n especial_o any_o single_a prelate_n as_o the_o pope_n again_o it_o can_v hardly_o be_v think_v that_o when_o a_o brother_n have_v offend_v a_o brother_n this_o text_n will_v have_v he_o present_o to_o call_v a_o council_n or_o synod_n of_o prelate_n and_o so_o complain_v to_o many_o prelate_n at_o once_o and_o so_o to_o the_o church_n but_o if_o it_o be_v his_o own_o prelate_n of_o who_o he_o must_v ask_v do_v this_o place_n promise_v that_o no_o prelate_n shall_v err_v in_o judgeing_a of_o controversy_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o in_o the_o jewish_a church_n which_o be_v undeniable_o the_o true_a church_n before_o christ_n priest_n do_v not_o judge_v controversy_n without_o error_n yea_o god_n himself_o complain_v of_o the_o contrary_a 8._o when_o he_o say_v the_o priest_n lip_n shall_v preserve_v knowledge_n and_o they_o shall_v seek_v the_o law_n out_o of_o his_o mouth_n for_o he_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n but_o you_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o the_o way_n you_o have_v cause_v many_o to_o stumble_v at_o the_o law_n you_o have_v corrupt_v the_o covenant_n of_o levi._n according_o we_o find_v in_o the_o prophet_n a_o continual_a outcry_n upon_o the_o priest_n for_o mis-leading_a the_o people_n yea_o the_o priest_n be_v chief_a in_o false_a judgement_n 26.8_o and_o injury_n of_o the_o true_a prophet_n according_o pashar_n both_o prophesy_v lie_n 6._o and_o do_v cast_v jeremy_n into_o the_o stock_n for_o prophesy_a truth_n yea_o 5._o the_o high_a priest_n himself_o false_o judge_v christ_n to_o have_v speak_v blasphemy_n and_o s._n peter_n tell_v the_o high_a priest_n and_o his_o associate_n that_o they_o be_v the_o builder_n that_o despise_v the_o corner_n stone_n and_o crucify_a christ._n and_o thus_o we_o see_v it_o plain_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o priest_n and_o prelate_n do_v err_v even_o when_o our_o author_n ascribe_v that_o inerrability_n to_o they_o by_o which_o he_o will_v prove_v the_o inerrability_n of_o rome_n yea_o we_o see_v far_o that_o
